Walpole Public Schools Supterintendent Lincoln Lynch gave a statement Friday, March 1 about concerns regarding the potential installation of security cameras in the hallways of the schools.
The cameras are part of a capital budget request that will go before Town Meeting to install additional security cameras in all Walpole Public Schools, including in hallways.
A students group has formed at the high school, Students Against Surveillance, who are against the installation of cameras in the hallways of the school. They believe the hallway cameras would invade their privacy and are not worth the estimated $37,000 to put in the high school.
